The song featured in Elvis Presley's 1961 film 'Blue Hawaii' and in the following four decades it was covered by numerous artists such as UB40, whose version in 1993 topped both the UK and US charts and the Swedish pop group 'A-Teens'. Elvis Presley's version reached the top of the UK charts in 1962 and has appeared in many other films such as 'Coyote Ugly' and Walt Disney's 'Lilo and Stitch'. ~
In the US, the song reached number two and the single is certified by the Recording Industry Association of America as a Platinum Record for US sales above one million copies. During Elvis' late sixties and seventies live performances, the song was performed as the show's finale. It was also sung in the live segment of his 1968 NBC television special and as the song that closed his 1973 Global telecast “Aloha from Hawaii”.
The song has been adopted as the standard supporters' song of Welsh football club Swansea City A.F.C and English clubs Sunderland, Swindon Town, Hull City, Huddersfield Town, Preston North End, A.F.C Wimbledon and MK Dons.
Wise men say only fools rush in but
I can't help falling in love with you
Shall I stay would it be a sin
If I can't help falling in love with you
Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling so it goes some things are meant to be take my hand,
take my whole life too for
I can't help falling in love with you
Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling so it goes some things are meant to be take my hand,
take my whole life too for
I can't help falling in love with you for
I can't help falling in love with you
